Title: Pinging in the New Year: Mapping the Tasman and Coral Seas
Period: 2020-12-28 00:00 to 2021-01-26 00:00 Local
Duration: 29.00 days
From: Brisbane To: Brisbane
Ship: RV Falkor [details]
Description:
Schmidt Ocean Institute in partnership with The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030, alongside collaborating researchers from Australia, will bring in the New Year on a mission– mapping significant areas of the seafloor of the Tasman and Coral Seas, offshore Queensland, Australia. The expedition is a part of the global effort to map the seabed in its entirety by the year 2030, which will aid in ocean research, management, and economic development for future generations. Bathymetric maps of the Tasman and Coral Seas are especially valuable, as the shape of the seafloor holds information about the tectonic movement and the formation of the Australian continent. Along the way, researchers will additionally survey seabirds, which are important indicators of ocean health. The effort will be led by Dr. Robin Beaman from James Cook University and Dr. Helen Bostock from The University of Queensland, as they oversee an interdisciplinary team from across Oceania. The scientists will be joined by Australia-based artist, Jessica Leitmanis, who will work to create pieces inspired by the expedition. The data collected from the expedition are vital for zoning and management of the Coral Sea Marine Park, and will be some of the first data collected in 2021 for the start of the UN Decade of Ocean Science.
